Can a girl and a guy sleep together without it having any sexual or romantic meaning behind it?

Question

I am currently living at a guy friend's place. He has a decent place all to himself and I had some issues due to Covid-19 situation so I shifted to his place temporarily.

The thing is I can't sleep alone at all. Ever since I was a kid I have had someone I have slept with. Till now it was my female roommate at the previous place

So while I am at his place I just go to his room and sleep. He doesn't mind it at all and was happy to help. Initially I didn't tell him but he kept asking me after he figured out I was roaming outside in the corridors at night or out in the park. So I had to tell him

We don't do anything except sleeping. I just use him as a body pillow so there are instances where I hug onto him while I sleep and he is into it to so we cuddle a lot.

Do you think it's normal for it to be like this without any sexual meaning? Does he think I am hitting on him?

Usually when we have a delicate but intricate question whose answer is apparent but apparently everybody isn't giving it or don't know about it to offer an opinion. By nature is is satisfactory for a human to feel petiod!! It is that we practice civility so as to have some sort of righteousness and respect but if you dont know this you won't figure it out until you fall flat on your face!! Then. It can be hard when you have sex just not eith them and then if they have the sexual maturity then boundaries can be set and respect hivem because you are real honest and responsible can't get better than that. It can be done but it must be a truthful must agreement between both really truthful if not something will happen. If your standards are low and you attract lower ow look out you're in for a ride of your life. Your so real how can you not connect? Again mutual civility.

I don't think anything can happen sexually as long as both of you work to keep things at that level, there is no reason to cuddle and sleep in the same bed, this one girl I had a crush laid in bed with me but she said, she could feel vibes and as we were cuddling she had to get out of my bed and go downstairs. But things happen not all people are the same, what happens with you may not happen with others. I don't see this being a wrong thing to do, you and him. If your both comfortable than that's all matters :)

I don’t know about that but it’s possible to sleep next to one another without any romantic or sexual feelings. I was doing the same with my male friends, slept next to them and have hugged up. I didn’t feel sexual, maybe they have but didn’t initiate.

If both of you are comfortable with the arrangement, why not !!!

CoolGuyJoe · Answer

Clearly you two are very good friends. Yes I think it's possible for you to sleep in the same bed if both of you are content with not being in a relationship with each other. What you described is probably the only situation where this would make sense. You're good friends and he's doing you a favor as a friend. Keep things the same and if he also acts the same, you're simply sleeping in the same bed.

I think you should work on being able to sleep alone

RemoErdosain · Answer

He might develop feelings, but as long as you make it clear to him that it's strictly because of that and he's OK, I don't see any problem

Hawner · Answer

It can perfectly happen.

ThiccBoai · Answer

It sounds fking lovely. What you describe is something that many others want. It doesn't sound weird and I respect that you two can do it. Not many people would be comfortable enough to do it. It sounds like a great solution and something normal. Something that, I think, should me more normal and accepted

Been there done it. In Lima I had a roomie friend who lived with me for about 5 months. She left her dood after getting beat up. She slept on the couch for a few nights but then moved to my bed. Nothing happened and I kept my girlfriend as well. Well those nights she slept on the couch. She got a job and found a better guy and moved out with him. Just because a woman is desperate and in need is no reason to take advantage of her.

I used to sleep in the same bed as my female bff in high school. I was friend-zoned and wanted more, and she wanted me to sleep over but not have sex, so we cuddled. She never said anything about the raging morning wood I had every time.. *shrug*. She was a sweet girl and dear friend, I miss her - she died of throat cancer at 29. wtf.

winterfox10 · Answer

That doesn't sound sexual or romantic to me... it's somewhat unusual, but I don't think he would see that as you hitting on him.

DIRKINOFF · Answer

Sometimes people just need to get their but.

Thatsamazing · Answer

"Does he think I am hitting on him?" I don't know-- are you hitting on him?

AmeerX · Answer

It is possible

MountAverage · Answer

It's possible, but it's more likely that there's at least some kind of sexual tension there for him. Even if it "means" nothing to him.

Guys can. Girls (generally) can’t

It can be done; but it isn't easy to maintain that seperation from sex.

Anonymous · Answer

Talk about it and make it clear that's all. Cuddling into him he very well could question if there's more to it. As you might if this was reversed right? So it's all in the communication.

Sleeping with someone—even if you mean that literally—is very intimate. Do it long enough and one or both of you will develop feelings. If you haven’t already.
